Tennis’ Soul, Boxing’s Swagger, & One Hell of a Comeback — Adam Smith


Listen Later

Adam Smith, the former Head of Boxing at Sky Sports and now a key face and voice at DAZN and Talk Sport.

In a powerful, open and entertaining conversation, Adam reflects on his extraordinary comeback after a life-threatening battle with bladder cancer, describing the resilience it took, the mindset shift, and how support from world-class fighters helped fuel his recovery.

We get into the heart of elite sport and the personalities behind it, with Adam sharing decades of insight from working with greats such as Anthony Joshua, Ricky Hatton, Amir Khan and Tyson Fury.

And yes — the banter flows.

·       Highlights from this episode include:

·        His emotional journey battling cancer — and the comeback mindset


·       The influence of top fighters and why athletes need emotional intelligence


·       His new role at DAZN and where sports broadcasting is heading


·       Why he believes boxing is the sexiest sport in the world

·       Why tennis in his view needs more spirit, danger and swagger. 

·       His candid verdict on Anthony Joshua vs Jake Paul and whether the crossover era helps or harms boxing


·       His love for tennis and who he believes embodies the sport’s fire and romance


·       And yes... why his beloved Liverpool aren’t firing right now and what’s really missing

 

This episode is inspiring, honest, insightful — and laced with great humour and sports storytelling only Adam Smith can deliver.
